I Have to say that I Really had a Lot of Fun Making
These Vintage Altered Bottles for my Smitten Class with Nancy!
I felt Like I was
Dressing Cinderella up for the Ball!
I Have Fallen in Love With Re-purposing the Discarded.
I am Looking Forward to my Next Project with Nancy!
Hope you all had a Wonderful Weekend!

I wanted to Share with you the
Wonderful Jewelry my Daughter is Creating!
I am very Excited for her and Happy
that she has Found Something she Really Enjoys!
She is a Full time College Student so
I am Thinking that this is a Good Balance to that Work Load.
I am Happy her Creative Muse has Finally Found Her!
You can Find her Designs on Etsy.

~I Think I will just take my Cheetah for a Walk!~

~No Caption Required~

This isn't the Post I had Planned on for today .
I worked on projects from my Smitten Class with Nancy Yesterday and was so Excited about Posting them. Unfortunately when I plugged my
NEW camera into the computer it told me
"You don't Have a Camera Goofy!"
What.???
My camera is right there...
So I unplug and Reblug-in my camera to all the Ports and Portals Required By the Computer and the Camera Company..
And tried again....My computer answers..
"Give your head a Shake Goofy! You don't have a Camera!"
What????
But its Right there... Plugged in.....????
This is the Internal Dialog I am Having with myself and the Computer....

Perhaps I am going Goofy.........
Well in the End ...After Un-installing and Re-installing software
I discover that
its the cord.........

She Was Mabel Iva Bertina Ellingson. She was a Sturdy Norwegian Woman with quite a Business Mind for Her time.

After my Grandfather Died, She Ran a Little Movie Theater

in the Small town of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota.

On Saturday Nights, Blooming Prairie was Hoping!

As Much as Blooming Prairie could Hop!

All of the Farming Families would come into town and

pay a Nickel to watch a Movie.That is actually Where my Parents Met.

My Mother Sold Tickets at the Theater and my Dad Ran the Projector.

(PS;The Picture Below is not My Grandmother just in Case you were Wondering)

Lauren Found this Cabinet Card at One of the Stores we went to!

I am fondly Call her Beatrice of Nebraska.

(Only Because its on the Front of the card)

Lauren was so Excited!

She said "Put a Hat on her Mom and

she would make a Wonderful Witch!

Look she even has a Big Wart on her Chin!"

(I really Hope that Beatrice is Not a Relation to any one of you!

If She is.. Please Know that there was No Disrespect intended!)

More Lace Love!

I am Very Happy to Report that Santa was Very Kind to me this Christmas. He gave me a New Camera which I am Very Grateful for! It is so Wonderful to take Pictures that are actually in Focus!
